I spent 13 years creating a dictionary for dyslexics. My daughter was dyslexic enough that she dropped out of high school which was extremely frustrating for me because I was an English major finishing my degree in college and reading was my strong point all through school. She begged me one night to write a dictionary for her which spelled the words the way she heard them.

I did not realize when I emphatically told her 'yes' I will write a dictionary for you, that it would take this many years to complete. Now published, it has also been designed by students as an APP on Android, iPhone, iPod and iPad with steep discounts for school. If your child is in a special education program (as mine was all through school) the teacher can get this APP for them to use. It's "American Wordspeller & Phonetic Dictionary" now being used in over 500 school districts. My daughter uses her book, "Gabby's Wordspeller & Phonetic Dictionary" (condensed version of American Wordspeller) at work since she is now 26 years old. Dyslexics can spell the word by the way it sounds and find the correctly spelled word in seconds. Can be used in testing. www.wordspeller.us
